Dear Santa

People have been asking me what I want for Christmas. Honestly, I hadn't given it much thought until now. So, for your enjoyment, I've put together a list of what I want for Christmas. I'll be waiting, Santa...

1. Peace. On Earth? How about peace in my house? 5 minutes without fighting? Please?

2. A new coffee pot. Mine croaked. Right now I'm using one that is completely useless. If liquid sits in the pot for more than 2 minutes, it starts to evaporate. So, either it evaporates until nothing is there, or I drink a half a pot of coffee in 6 minutes flat.

3. A visit from the laundry fairy. Seriously, where is she?? I swear, I think I'm caught up on laundry, then someone screams, "I have no more clean underwear!", "I need clean socks", or someone pees/pukes on their sheets. That's my cue to re-start the laundry cycle. How about the laundry fairy take over that role for a week?

4. Paint. My living room walls are atrocious. Yes, kids, it's cute when you draw me pictures. It's NOT cute to draw me pictures on the living room walls. We can't wipe the walls off; our living room is painted with flat paint, so if you wash the walls, it stains it. I'd love a total re-do of the walls, so upon entering my house, it doesn't scream out, "Why yes, I DO have kids".

About Me
